Release Notes

coveragepy/coveragepy (coverage)

v7.11.3

Compare Source

  • Fix: the 7.11.1 changes meant that conflicts between a requested measurement
    core and other settings would raise an error. This was a breaking change from
    previous behavior, as reported in issue 2076_ and issue 2078_.

    The previous behavior has been restored: when the requested core conflicts
    with other settings, another core is used instead, and a warning is issued.

  • For contributors: the repo has moved from Ned's nedbat GitHub account_ to
    the coveragepy GitHub organization_. The default branch has changed from
    master to main.

v7.11.2

Compare Source

  • Fix: using the "sysmon" measurement core in 7.11.1, if Python code was
    claimed to come from a non-Python file, a NotPython exception could be
    raised. This could happen for example with Jinja templates compiled to
    Python, as reported in issue 2077_. This is now fixed.

  • Doc: corrected the first entry in the 7.11.1 changelog.

.. _issue 2077: #​2077

.. _changes_7-11-1:

v7.11.1

Compare Source

  • Fix: some chanages to details of how the measurement core is chosen, and how
    conflicting settings are handled. The "sysmon" core cannot be used with some
    conurrency settings, with dynamic context, and in Python 3.12/3.13, with
    branch measurement.

    • If the core is not specified and defaults to "sysmon" (Python 3.14+), but
      other settings conflict with sysmon, then the "ctrace" core will be used
      instead with no warning. For concurrency conflicts, this used to produce an
      error, as described in issue 2064_.

    • If the "sysmon" core is explicitly requested in your configuration, but
      other settings conflict, an error is now raised. This used to produce a
      warning.

  • Fix: some multi-line case clauses or for loops (and probably other
    constructs) could cause incorrect claims of missing branches with the
    sys.monitoring core, as described in issue 2070_. This is now fixed.

  • Fix: when running in pytest under coverage, a breakpoint() would stop in
    the wrong frame, one level down from where it should, as described in issue 1420_. This was due to a coverage change in v6.4.1 that seemed to give a
    slight performance improvement, but I couldn't reproduce the performance
    gain, so it's been reverted, fixing the debugger problem.

  • A new debug option --debug=core shows which core is in use and why.

  • Split sqlite debugging information out of the sys :ref:coverage debug <cmd_debug> and :ref:cmd_run_debug options since it's bulky and not
    very useful.

  • Updated the :ref:howitworks page to better describe the three different
    measurement cores.

v7.11.0

Compare Source

  • Dropped support for Python 3.9, declared support for Python 3.15 alpha.

.. _changes_7-10-7:

v7.10.7

Compare Source

  • Performance: with branch coverage in large files, generating HTML, JSON, or
    LCOV reports could take far too long due to some quadratic behavior when
    creating the function and class index pages. This is now fixed, closing
    issue 2048_. Thanks to Daniel Diniz for help diagnosing the problem.

  • Most warnings and a few errors now have links to a page in the docs
    explaining the specific message. Closes issue 1921_.

.. _issue 2048: #​2048

.. _changes_7-10-6:

v7.10.6

Compare Source

  • Fix: source directories were not properly communicated to subprocesses
    that ran in different directories, as reported in issue 1499_. This is now
    fixed.

  • Performance: Alex Gaynor continues fine-tuning <pull 2038_>_ the speed of
    combination, especially with many contexts.

.. _issue 1499: #​1499

v7.10.5

Compare Source

  • Big speed improvements for coverage combine: it's now about twice as
    fast! Huge thanks to Alex Gaynor for pull requests 2032 <pull 2032_>,
    2033 <pull 2033_>
    , and 2034 <pull 2034_>_.

v7.10.4

Compare Source

  • Added patch = fork for times when the built-in forking support is
    insufficient.

  • Fix: patch = execv also inherits the entire coverage configuration now.

.. _changes_7-10-3:

v7.10.3

Compare Source

  • Fixes for patch = subprocess:

    • If subprocesses spawned yet more subprocesses simultaneously, some coverage
      could be missed. This is now fixed, closing issue 2024_.

    • If subprocesses were created in other directories, their data files were
      stranded there and not combined into the totals, as described in issue 2025_. This is now fixed.

    • On Windows (or maybe only some Windows?) the patch would fail with a
      ModuleNotFound error trying to import coverage. This is now fixed,
      closing issue 2022_.

    • Originally only options set in the coverage configuration file would apply
      to subprocesses. Options set on the coverage run command line (such as
      --branch) wouldn't be communicated to the subprocesses. This could
      lead to combining failures, as described in issue 2021_. Now the entire
      configuration is used in subprocesses, regardless of its origin.

    • Added debug=patch to help diagnose problems.

  • Fix: really close all SQLite databases, even in-memory ones. Closes issue 2017_.

.. _changes_7-10-2:

v7.10.2

Compare Source

  • Fix: some code with NOP bytecodes could report missing branches that are
    actually executed. This is now fixed, closing issue 1999_. Python 3.9
    still shows the problem.

.. _issue 1999: #​1999

.. _changes_7-10-1:

v7.10.1

Compare Source

  • Fix: the exclusion for if TYPE_CHECKING: was wrong: it marked the branch
    as partial, but it should have been a line exclusion so the entire clause
    would be excluded. Improves issue 831_.

  • Fix: changed where .pth files are written for patch = subprocess, closing
    issue 2006_.

.. _issue 2006: #​2006

.. _changes_7-10-0:

v7.10.0

Compare Source

  • A new configuration option: ":ref:config_run_patch" specifies named patches
    to work around some limitations in coverage measurement. These patches are
    available:

    • patch = _exit lets coverage save its data even when :func:os._exit() <python:os._exit> is used to abruptly end the process. This closes
      long-standing issue 310_ as well as its duplicates: issue 312, issue 1673, issue 1845, and issue 1941.

    • patch = subprocess measures coverage in Python subprocesses created
      with :mod:subprocess, :func:os.system, or one of the :func:execv <python:os.execl> or :func:spawnv <python:os.spawnl> family of
      functions. Closes old issue 367, its duplicate issue 378 and old
      issue 689_.

    • patch = execv adjusts the :func:execv <python:os.execl> family of
      functions to save coverage data before ending the current program and
      starting the next. Not available on Windows. Closes issue 43_ after 15
      years!

  • The HTML report now dimly colors subsequent lines in multi-line statements.
    They used to have no color. This gives a better indication of the amount of
    code missing in the report. Closes issue 1308_.

  • Two new exclusion patterns are part of the defaults: ... is automatically
    excluded as a line and if TYPE_CHECKING: is excluded as a branch. Closes
    issue 831_.

  • A new command-line option: --save-signal=USR1 specifies a signal that
    coverage.py will listen for. When the signal is sent, the coverage data will
    be saved. This makes it possible to save data from within long-running
    processes. Thanks, Arkady Gilinsky <pull 1998_>_.

  • A new configuration option: ":ref:config_report_partial_also" is a list of
    regexes to add as pragmas for partial branches. This parallels the
    ":ref:config_report_exclude_also" setting for adding line exclusion
    patterns.

  • A few file path configuration settings didn't allow for tilde expansion:
    :ref:config_json_output, :ref:config_lcov_output and
    :ref:config_run_debug_file. This is now fixed.

  • Wheels are included for 3.14 now that 3.14 rc1 is available.

  • We no longer ship a PyPy-specific wheel. PyPy will install the pure-Python
    wheel. Closes issue 2001_.

  • In the very unusual situation of not having a current frame, coverage no
    longer crashes when using the sysmon core, fixing issue 2005_.
